Slamp SpA
From Lamps to Beehives
Conscious Innovation Projects
Slamp greets 2020 with a new project geared towards the planet’s wellbeing: a new collaboration sees leftover cuttings transformed in portable beehives. Slamp has been practicing sustainability for over 25 years. Their resistant, long-lasting technopolymers not only exhibit optimal thermal, electrical, and chemical properties, but these unique materials are recyclable. Slamp’s manufacturing processes have zero impact on the environment: the lamps’ technopolymer sheets undergo cold cutting before being constructed by hand. The small amount of extra cuttings are recycled monthly, in since the beginning of 2020, a portion of those are being made into beehives for bumblebees by DS-Group. Bumblebees, part of the Apidae family, are widely used in pollinating fruit trees (replacing chemicals). They are used for tomatoes as well, and ensure quality, juicy crops.
